Visitors can look forward to a large number of exhibits, live demonstrations and speaker presentations organised by top industry experts and print machine makers. They will present high-precision machinery and custom-made printing systems that have successfully been implemented in manufacturing, as well as special inks, solvents, print heads, and other accessories that guarantee a print of high quality and durability as required for most manufacturing processes.
Designed as a networking and business event, InPrint aims at print specialists from the entire supply chain who seek to improve their print production process, realise new print projects for their industrial customers, or invest in new applications and business opportunities in this highly attractive growth sector. This includes print providers, production managers, system integrators, technical directors, heads of R&D and designers. At InPrint, they have the chance to meet the leading manufacturers of print equipment in person, learn about new technologies and industry applications, and discuss individual printing requirements for their own production process.
With InPrint, exhibition organisers FM Brooks have created a key industry platform for a strategically very important market that is driven by ongoing consumer growth and a trend towards mass customisation. The ability of modern print technologies to create technical and functional layers within the production process offers immense potential for better, faster and more efficient manufacturing. In recognition of the thematic relevance to industrial manufacturing, InPrint 2014 will be co-located to Hannover Messe 2014, the world’s leading exhibition for industrial technology.
